SA Equities have shown abysmal returns for investors
South African Equity markets delivered abysmal returns for investors over the last three years. For the 1, 2 and 3 year periods ending 30 June 2017, neither of the primary SA Equity benchmarks, the All Share Index [ALSI] and the Shareholder Weighted Index [SWIX], were able to beat either cash or inflation over any of the periods in the last 3 years. As is highlighted below – an investor would have been better off with “money in the bank” (i.e. cash) than being invested in the SA Equity market as returns went backwards in real terms.
